Ex-deputy prime minister suspected of UAH 13.9M illicit enrichment

NABU and SAPO have served a notice of suspicion on a former deputy prime minister and minister of justice for illicit enrichment of over UAH 13.9 million and for filing false asset declarations.

According to the investigation, the suspect possessed two apartments in the Faina Town residential complex, valued at nearly UAH 11 million, which were registered to a friend.

The suspect also used assets registered to close relatives and associates at various times, including:

• an apartment in the Lvivska Ploshcha business-class residential complex in Kyiv (registered to her mother);
• a parking space and several non-residential premises in the same residential complex (registered to her father);
• a Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 d (registered to a subordinate).

The former official failed to declare these assets.

Furthermore, she negotiated the purchase of a house near Kyiv valued at USD 550,000. Under the proposed arrangement, USD 250,000 was to be paid in cash, while the remaining amount was to be settled by transferring the two aforementioned apartments in Faina Town to the seller. However, she ultimately withdrew from the deal, likely due to her appointment to a diplomatic post abroad.

The suspect's declared earnings were insufficient to purchase assets of that worth. Between early 2024 and mid-2025, she earned approximately UAH 3.7 million, while around UAH 4.2 million was spent from her bank accounts alone during the same period.

The actions of the suspect fall under Article 368-5 and Part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

A bail of UAH 6 million has been set as a preventive measure for her.
